I just got burnt by my combustion

[patatoSteve]

Today I was firing my combustion. It was't firing right because the screws shifted. I opened the cap, pressed the ignition, and BOOM ALL OVER MY FACE it exploded and destroyed the threading on it. Luckily I only lost some hair because I was wearing safety googles.

If the cap was off it wouldn't explode the aerosol would just ignite.

Never look into a chamber to check ignition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use a mirror!!

Wow.......... You fueled it up.........then Sparked It With It Open!?!?!?!?!?
In from of your face......
Lucky you were wearing safety goggles...... People usually dont.
I dont.

Sounds like there was too much fuel in there.

It just had one really big flame then started burning the combustion chamber.

Yeah that happened with mine because I left my friend with it alone for 5 min. If the threads are melted together just use a razor blade or a file to cut apart the stuff inbetween them. But if they are too messed up just buy a new one it will cost you maybe $1.

The razor blade ide worked. Though I havent fired it yet.
